Fan says that Internet of Things is one of the new emerging technologies that can help to
revive the farming industry. He mentions that smart agriculture IoT is not very popular, but for
the farmers who have integrated the smart farming are enjoying great yield from their farms
since 1960s. Most problem the farmers are experiencing will be solved by the use of IoT. Smart
agriculture is being used to donate the implementation of IoT in agriculture. He says that more
farmers are adopting smart agriculture IoT in the farming activities. From his research, the
number of IoT device installation is growing and by 2020 the installation may reach 75 million.
The IoT is also enhancing the market size. The market is expected to triple with the rate its
growing now. He urges farmers to use IoT in farming as there are a number of benefits for
incorporating IoT in farming.
Benefits of IoT and cloud computing in farming.

First, with the implementation of IoT a lot of data will be collected. Research shows that
tons of data will be collected using smart agriculture sensors. The researchers says that the data
collected about weather conditions, crops growth progress, the cattle’s health and the soil
properties and quality is very useful. We know that data is stored in the network, is available to
be used by other farmers who could be in the same geographical location. Secondly, IoT will
help in controlling internal process therefore lowering the production risks. IoT will also help in
the reduction of cost management and reduce the waste products as the quality of the yields will
be enhanced. Finally, IoT and cloud computing will increase business efficiency for farmers. The
use of the smart devices will automate most of the activities involved in farming. The group of
researchers promise the farmers will also be in a position to reach wide markets and this will in
turn increase their profits.
